New Tool: CHIPPING a driveway

Due to the weather, the dirt work we contracted out for the driveway and shop pad has been delayed. So, we spent some time doing grunt work to shape the driveway and get a better visual of how it will look and where it will be.
We got the tractor out to the property for the first time, which was exciting, to say the least. Tractor seat time is therapeutic. To help us clear our piles, I use a Woodland Mills WC68 6" PTO Wood Chipper, powered by the tractor PTO, and can handle material up to 6" in diameter. The chipper is rated for 20-50 PTO horsepower. My tractor has 30 horsepower at the PTO, so I won't be able to maximize the capability of this chipper, but it will allow for growing room if I get a larger tractor in the future. I haven't measured anything, but I believe I chipped a 5-6" diameter pine tree with it with no problems. I think I could chip 6" pine easily, but hardwoods are another story. You can audibly tell the ease of chipping pine vs the power demand of similar-sized hardwood. Considering we have 101 acres of trees, this will be a handy implement for the foreseeable future.

Jay, I'm pretty stoked to see this "homesteading" type content from you. I've followed your channel from the apartment shop days, and your presentation style has always been right up my alley. I've missed this type of content for a while now, and I'm very excited for the future of your channel!

@cliff5240 Месяц назад

Really enjoy watching you making progress on your new property. I have a little of 5 1/2 acres and it is a lot of work but I would not have it any other way -- I am 60 now and I really believe it keeps me young, a little more sore than a few years ago but still worth it. I look forward to seeing your dream come true.

@gusswenson7811 Месяц назад

Hi Jay I don’t usually comment but I have to tell you I am really enjoying this.. I have been watching for a long time and I really like it a lot.. But this is really interesting and like you are taking us along with your new journey in life.. Thank you for sharing.. I did this 40 years ago when I built my house.. I have got so much enjoyment from doing it and all the improvements I have done over the years.. The feeling of accomplishment you get is is incredible.. In time you and your Wife will feel it too.. You both can sit back and say We did this!!!! Thank you again for sharing and always move forward.. Oh your Daughter is so fun to watch as well.. I have 11 kids and wish they could have helped but most came after.. hahahaha Cheers

I really enjoyed this video too. It is a nice change of pace from shop videos and I think you did a great job editing and putting it together as well. I look forward to more. :)

Ever since I bought my first locking grease fitting, I have not bought another.. I still have to use an old one to get into a small diameter hole with a fitting on my backhoe, but, I LOVE the locking fittings.. One handed greasing.. Nice...

@J4Julz Месяц назад

I'm pretty excited about that woodchipper- the best part tho, is the metal pallet- you could make a work bench out of it! A different kind of pallet furniture :)

@AngieWilliamsDesigns Месяц назад

I love it. I think one of the exciting things is that I've been following you since you had your shop in the apartment. To see where you are now is so cool. I don't watch the homesteading videos or home remodeling videos much. But this has certainly peaked my interest. Probably because of the way you share the content, your excitement for it and I really do enjoy watching the process of taking the overgrown property and making something. I look forward to watching. I loved see the gate cleared and then seeing it in today's video. So much progress already. Thanks for bringing us along.

@richriley8031 Месяц назад

Excellent job! I needed a commercial chipper like that when I cleared an adjacent lot next to my home property by hand! Lots of sore muscle days but gotter done. Enjoying the progressive videos.

@JeffYantha Месяц назад

The driveway looks great and it’s exciting to see the Woodland Mills gear in action! I just ordered the Multilander trailer to clean up a bunch of diseased trees and was planing to get the stump grinder and chipper as soon as we get a tractor.

@andrewpinson1268 Месяц назад

Don't forget now that if you have any question about homestead ways, many of us are professional "homesteading" video watchers. Advise on everything but the sweating part of it right at your finger tips.

@JAMESMT-mm6zl Месяц назад

That’s a good chipper, I’ve used that same model a lot. I will say, it likes to be greased, especially if it’s out in the elements. Good video, enjoyed watching someone else doing the work….😂. Thanks for sharing.

@lourens2852 Месяц назад

Great to see you guys so busy! Enjoy working on your own land, building your own dream. Homesteading it is! It's also nice that there are often videos. Keep it up as far as I'm concerned.

@bobbymccarley2134 Месяц назад

A very nice addition to the equipment that will come in handy for all the clearing you will be doing and looks to be a very well made machine with a lot of umph to get the work done!!!! Can't wait to see the stump grinder in action.

I live in the city in Portland OR and will likely never have need for a chipper or a tractor, but all I was thinking watching this was how fun it must be.

@TheGardenerNorth Месяц назад

Nice video! Just a suggestion, that you may want to stock pile those wood chips as they are incredibly valuable for landscaping and composting.

@1sbende Месяц назад

I have the wood 8x10 chipper and have found that even on a 50 horse tractor it really help to stop the feed roller a few times while chipping larger diameter trees to let the tractor come but to full power so you dont blow sheer pins or kill tractor

@MarkLasbyCNC Месяц назад

Congratulations on the purchase of 2 great pieces of equipment. I hope you enjoy your Woodlands Mills equipment as much I enjoy mine. Woodland Mills is a great Canadian company to deal with. (No I don't work for them.)

@pagesk2001 Месяц назад

I got one of these last year and it’s right up there with the flail mower as the best attachment I have for the tractor. I’ve clogged mine a few times, usually on western red cedar bows. Most everything goes through without a problem. I only have 22 hp at the PTO.

@joshuawcope Месяц назад

As a fellow Bad Boy tractor owner it is always great to see them getting the work in. I would definitely recommend getting a quick hitch for your 3pt going forward since it looks like your project will require a lot of different implement usage.

Ordered a Speedco. Arrives tomorrow :)

Jay, You may want to grind those trees so the chips fill in the ruts in your trails. I know they will degrade over time but for know it will cut down your mud.

@weirdnewworld1736 Месяц назад

Congratulations!!! This is going to be a fun journey!

@toneec Месяц назад

Someone will LOVE it if you put googly eyes on the outfeed of the wood chipper.

@GreatFalls18u Месяц назад

Take 2 hours and dig yourself a burn pit into the side on a hill with the tractor and bucket Burning takes care of the large and small stuff whereas the chipper can only handle small stuff (and there will be big stuff). If you have a hill near water all the better (gas water pump for the stuff that will take longer to burn than you can oversee). Next, buy a grapple, one of mankind's greatest inventions. Cut, grapple, burn, repeat.

@patraymond3791 Месяц назад

might want to cut the stumps veery close to the ground unless you plan on ripping them out of the ground, looks like fun by the way. Pat

@bottomup12 Месяц назад

@AZ-Patriot Месяц назад

Jay, make sure you engage your PTO before you open the throttle. Or, if you have a clutch on that tractor, push it in when engaging the PTO. It's very hard on it to have the throttle cranked up first.

@JayBates Месяц назад

Thanks!

@billrutledge2441 Месяц назад

If you are going to have a garden, put those would chips on the top of the garden area, about 6” deep to start o proving the soil for your garden bed.

@TheDankFarmer Месяц назад

Great video, looking forward to seeing the progress for sure - living the dream. Also just pointing out at 17:00 pretty sure thats poison ivy on that log, be careful if you're allergic that stuff is miserable

Yup, it's poison ivy. The property is covered in it. I've never had a reaction my entire life....until now.

@inspectr1949 Месяц назад

Like you have 30 HP PTO tractor considering which chipper to get leaning on the WC 88 due to the larger throat and chute size to handle brush and branched logs having a lot of towering red pine trees that I'll be dropping and chipping up the top 15-20 ', review's are the machine can handle it.

@SteveHazel Месяц назад

time to get to work on something else. you're soundin like Mr Camarata :) Which is pretty awesome. I love this kinda stuff.

The red bar is so if you get caught on a branch and are being pulled in you can stop it and it reverses .

@TheDesertRat31 Месяц назад

I wouldn't call that a side by side. I'd call it a gator. SbS, to me are more "racing" utvs, vs work utvs... not that this means anything, just interesting the variation in terminology for stuff. Those lock n lube fittings are great... I wish I thought of it.

@JayBates Месяц назад

Two people sit side by side vs a 4 Wheeler where they sit in front of another. So to me, all UTV and recreational vehicles like this are a side by side.

@HalfAssHomestead Месяц назад

All those pine needles and chips says your property will be great for growing things like Blueberries that prefer the soil to be slightly acidic. Just don't add any Black Walnut to the piles, as that will kill just about anything you want to grow.

So, will there be a woodland mills sawmill showing up soon?

@JayBates Месяц назад

I can neither confirm nor deny.

@Bikeeast Месяц назад

@@JayBates I have the HM122. I needed to build a small studio for my wife's business. It was during Covid when lumber prices were just about at their peak. It was cheaper to buy the sawmill and a couple loads of logs than it was to buy the lumber from Home Depot, and much cheaper than a prefab building. Now I sell enough lumber to keep up with gas and maintenance/consumables for the sawmill, and have an unlimited supply of hardwood lumber for my woodworking hobby. It is super satisfying to be able to take a log, turn it into lumber, then into a piece of furniture.

@stephengagnon4714 Месяц назад

Needs a lot of rocky gravel

@JayBates 22 дня назад

Yes it does. Needs a lot of other work too.

@alaskankare Месяц назад

I am just curious...why cut them into the pathway instead of falling stuff into the woods where they will not cause extra work to clear path completely of every twig?

@JayBates Месяц назад

They fall where they want to fall at this small size. We leave a lot of stuff on the ground to decompose. Our dirt work guy will clear a lot of this with a dozer soon anyway. We wanted to see the shape of the driveway to see if there was any fine tuning or changes that needed to be made.

@garycdawson Месяц назад

“Ship hits the sand”

@smckenzie04 Месяц назад

Why not use the chips to cover the driveway and keep the mud down?

@JayBates Месяц назад

Because they will cause more trouble than solve. The problem isn't with material there, it's with proper drainage. A solution to that is in the works.

@tmdwu3110 Месяц назад

17:00 that is a poison ivy or oak vine on that pine log. Seriously nasty stuff.

Kinda. If you chase every dollar at every opportunity you'll be bogged down by not making progress. You also lose a lot of money purchasing a bike or car for transportation instead of walking, right? The profit from this smaller stuff is just not worth the time investment.
